Before crossing the red carpet, Taís spoke in a chat sponsored by a cosmetics brand, about how she prepared for an event of this magnitude. “For such an event, it takes me a lot to get myself together. It took me about two hours. Nowadays it takes me less than when I had long hair. Usually an hour for hair and makeup,” said the actress. “At home it’s quick. I still have my curls, so there’s no way to leave home without leave-in conditioner. I washed it, have to put in some leave-in, if I don’t I can’t even greet people on the street,” joked Taís, who, like all women, also says she has bad hair days.

“With short hair, bad hair day is a type of death, because there’s not much to do. With short hair, you have to put it underwater, put in some leave-in or in the latter case, a bandana,” she said. “I was tired of my face with long hair. A major difficulty is letting it grow, because it’s delightful to have short hair. You wash your hair and you’re ready in five minutes,” said Taís, on her current look (short hair).

Taís’ radiant beauty also drew the attention of international star Uma Thurman, of Kill Bill fame. Captivated with Taís’ style, the actress quipped, “Who is this beauty in white?”
